Welcome ToadKillers!!
I see you've found my humble blog. I hope you don't have a heart attack that someone believes that you're team is beatable.
On the thread discussing my blog, I found this charming post:
Now, these are my favorite types of posts - the kind that call someone an idiot for "failing to show the whole truth" and then throwing out stats of your own. Let's take those games one by one, shall we?
OU - 225 vs. 474
TCU played OU with Paul Thompson as QB in his first career start at QB. Needless to say, he turned in a poor performance. Additionally, TCU played only four quarters.
Baylor played OU to 2 OTs, accounting for 50 extra yards for OU. That drops the difference to 199 yards. We played with Rhett Bomar at QB, after he'd gone through the fire of playing Texas and had thrown for over 200 yards in two games.
Now I'm not pretending that this was a stellar defensive effort by the Bears, it was one of their two worst for the year, but let's make sure we're getting as close to apples-to-apples as possible, alright? On to the far more hilarious....
SMU - 271 vs 276
5 yards? We faced them in the first game of our season, and had our scrubs in the last two drives they went on. Oh, and we WON.
Army 362 vs 284
Ok, so ya'll allowed 78 more yards. At home. I'm not sure what your point was with that one...
ISU 288 vs 320
Alright, difference of 32 yards. We played them in Ames, Iowa while TCU played them in Texas. Hmm... This is another mystery. We beat them by 10 points, ya'll beat them by 3. Kinda scratching my head with this one.
Thanks for the entertaining interlude, though. I'm sure I'll enjoy more of these little chats in the next two weeks, then I can forget TCU exists until the next offseason. ¶ 8/21/2006

Army 362 vs 284
